Soldier, Won’t You Marry Me?
Song III of ‘Love Songs for Springtime’
Text: Traditional English
Music: Paul Halley
Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
It’s O a fife and a drum.
How can I marry such a pretty girl
When I’ve no hat to put on?
Off to the tailor she did go
As hard as she could run,
Brought him back the finest was there,
Now soldier put it on.
Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
It’s O a fife and a drum.
How can I marry such a pretty girl
When I’ve no coat to put on?
Off to the tailor she did go
As hard as she could run,
Brought him back the finest was there,
Now soldier put it on.
Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
It’s O a fife and a drum.
How can I marry such a pretty girl
When I’ve no shoes to put on?
Off to the shoe shop she did go
As hard as she could run,
Brought him back the finest was there,
Now soldier put them on.
Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?
It’s O a fife and a drum.
How can I marry such a pretty girl
And a wife and baby at home?
